What's your favourite dessert?

Or whatever you call the sweet thing you have after your evening meal.

I've just decided that mine is creme brulee. I absolutely love it more than anything else.
Close second would be homemade trifle (pref. no jelly), or a really good tiramisu. I am also partial to Eton mess and chocolate mousse. But creme brulee wins every time.

What's yours?

Home made white chocolate cheesecake with strawberries or raspberries.

SiobhanSharpe · 28/01/2023 21:27

Basque burnt cheesecake with poached rhubarb on the side
Ultra decadent Crême Brulée
also very best home made crême caramel, made with Cornish full cream milk, vanilla sugar and extra egg yolk
Brioche bread and butter pudding (made the same way as crême caramel above and served with creamy toffee and orange sauce)
STP, of course, made to the original Cartmel recipe, rich and fudgy and not just a brownish sponge pudding. With cream, ice cream or custard, as long as there's plenty of it.
in the summer -- Pavlova with passion fruit topping or chocolate and raspberry Pavlova (Nigella recipes and truly divine.)
Caffé affogato.

and you know what.. good old iced sponge cake with sprinkles with custard… Just like you’d get at school!

There's a local cake shop near me that does all the old school stuff
School cake, cornflake tart, and you can get pink custard with them too!

MinnieMountain · 29/01/2023 06:27

Pretty much anything so long as it doesn’t contain bananas.
Queen of puddings especially.

Chickydoo · 29/01/2023 06:37

Cheese

JingsMahBucket · 29/01/2023 09:34

Plitvice · 28/01/2023 20:10

Tiramisu but only if I make it. It is low sugar, no booze so not traditional but just right for us!

Oooh @Plitvice would you be willing to share you recipe please?

Cherrysoup · 29/01/2023 09:44

Cheesecake

MeinKraft · 29/01/2023 09:46

Rice pudding I think. I have a nice coconut rice pudding recipe, it's very creamy.

I want to try making a Black Forest cheesecake soon though.

Some of you might like this book if you're prone to a bit of light reading: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rachels-Pudding-Pantry-gorgeous-bestselling/dp/0008327653 it contains graphic descriptions of delicious sounds puddings, I gained about half a stone reading my way through the series Blush

MissyB1 · 29/01/2023 13:16

Just remembered Manchester Tart!

TheKitchenWitch · 29/01/2023 17:18

These all sound amazing. I am impressed with the dessert enthusiasm on here :D

I've been flicking through an old (as in vintage 1980s) cookbook this weekend, and there's been quite a few of the puddings and tarts mentioned on this thread in there. I think I need to start a retro dessert night!

Cheesecake. With a thick buttery biscuit base.

Forest fruits or salted caramel

TheChosenTwo · 29/01/2023 21:20

Lemon posset or tiramisu. My absolute favourites. I’m not so into hot puddings although do have them sometimes.

Rebel2023 · 29/01/2023 21:21

@asblindasabat some pics! She doesn’t do small portions

Sure who needs small portions when it comes to sweet treats?!? Looks amazing!

TheKitchenWitch · 30/01/2023 10:00

I need to look up a recipe for lemon posset. Never had it but suspect I might like it.

This question is too hard to answer, sorry. Love all of them.

I love so many

Any steam pud with custard (and pouring crem preferably!)

Floating islands I absolutely love and have recently started making at home just for myself

Hot raspberries with clotted cream ice cream and a shortbread biscuits

Roasted, cinamon sugared plums with mascepone vanilla cream

😍My all time favourite floating island, I’ve only made them once and was such a mission, do you have a simple recipe?
apart from this sugar fest I like anything with a sourer note gooseberry rhubarb or lemon.
